  • Patent number: 10270594
    Abstract: A system for generating an enhanced polymorphic quantum enabled firewall in real-time typically includes a classical computer apparatus and a quantum optimizer in communication with the classical computer apparatus. The classical computer apparatus is configured to identify an unauthorized attempt to access information by an unidentified source, collect a first set of data about the unauthorized attempt, determine a type of the unauthorized attempt by analyzing the first set of data, and transmit the first set of data and the type of the unauthorized attempt to the quantum optimizer. The quantum optimizer upon receiving the first set of data and the type of the unauthorized attempt, generates a second key and a second level of encryption using the second key, generates a new protocol for transferring the second level of encryption over a network, and transfers the second level of encryption and the new protocol to the classical computer apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20190116187
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to multicomputer processing of data from social media service computing platforms and other sources with centralized event control. A first computing platform may receive a request to authorize an event from a first device as well as information from one or more social media service computing platforms. The first computing platform may determine whether or not to authorize the event and may request authorization for the event from a second device. Subsequently, the first computing platform may command a second computing platform to authorize or not authorize the event accordingly. The rules and conditions evaluated by the first computing platform in determining whether or not to authorize the event may be determined or altered by a machine learning engine of the first computing platform.

  • Publication number: 20190114575
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to systems and methods for supervision of objectives and verification of completion of tasks associated with objectives. A computing platform may determine an objective and a series of tasks associated with that objective. Completion of the series of tasks may contribute to that objective by effecting a change to user data. The system may verify that a task has been completed by receiving task completion progress information, and effect a change to user data to reflect the task completion. The tasks associated with objectives may be determined or altered by a machine learning engine of the first computing platform.

  • Publication number: 20190109916
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to implementing and using a data processing system to provide real-time data to improve event delivery timing. A computing platform may establish respective connections with and receive, via a communication interface, (i) from collection of subordinate user computing devices, information defining a first event; (ii) from collection of supervisory user computing devices, supervisory information associated with the first event; and (iii) from a first participant computing device, first participant information associated with delivery of the first event. The computing platform may execute an algorithm for aggregating the information defining the first event and the supervisory information, and generating a formatted alert based thereon. The formatted alert may be transmitted for display on the first participant computing device.

  • Publication number: 20190109913
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to multicomputer processing of data from social media service computing platforms and other sources with centralized event control. An event control computing platform may receive information from one or more social media service computing platforms. Subsequently, the event control computing platform may identify, based on the received information, whether a change should be made to user data associated with a user identifiable by the received information. If the information indicates that a change should be made to the user data, then the event control computing platform may extract metadata from the received information to verify the accuracy of the received information. When the metadata verifies the accuracy of the received information, the event control computing platform may generate a command configured to cause a change to the user data and then may transmit the generated command to an event validation computing platform.

  • Publication number: 20180262489
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for providing real-time multi-faceted authentication of a user before or during the user's interaction with a channel. The system uses authentication devices to acquire large amounts of authentication level information data, then makes a determination that at least a portion of the acquired authentication level information data cannot be efficiently processed by a conventional computer apparatus due to the complexity of a required analysis process and/or the quantity of data that must be processed. The system then formats and transmits this authentication data to a special quantum optimizer that is configured to perform the complex analysis and/or process extremely large volumes of data substantially in real-time. The quantum optimizer performs the analysis and returns a confirmed identity of the user that is then used by the conventional computer apparatus to authenticate the user for the interaction with the channel.

  • Publication number: 20180253552
    Abstract: A system for capturing communication variables associated with a communication between two or more parties and implementing a quantum optimizer to analyze the communication variables to determine the actual context of a communication held by one or more parties to the communication. Once the actual context is determined, a further determination is made as to whether the actual context poses or potentially poses a security threat to one or more parties to the communication or a third-party and, if so, notifies the party of the security threat. In this regard, parties to a communication that are unaware of the actual context of the communication held by another party are made aware of that actual context poses a security threat and, in some embodiments, notifies the parties while the communication is still occurring.

  • Publication number: 20180255073
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for enhanced detection of polymorphic malicious content within an entity. In this regard, the present invention receives information associated with an incidence of an electronic file; receives an first hash value of the electronic file from a first network device and a second hash value of the electronic file from a second network device; compares the first hash value with the second hash value; determines that the electronic file is polymorphic based on at least the match; initiates an execution of a quantum optimization algorithm using a quantum optimizer to determine one or more hash value states associated with the electronic file for a third network device; and initiates a control signal configured to store the one or more hash value states in a database associated with the third network device.
